4 GEN. TAYLOR.
Mr. Senator Davis., of Mississippi, in
reply in Gen. Uouston.'who had charged
Gen. T) lor . will unfriendly feelings o-
wards the Stale and people of Texa, tie
lirered a speech in the Senate some weeks
ago which is, we think, says the Baltimore
American, one of ihe best specimens of.
oratory to he found in all the speeches ol
the present session. Mr. Pearce had replied
lo the charges of tlx' Senator from Texas
and had exposed their unfounded nature
and he had done i I with characteristic
ability from the evidence of documents and
official facts. j , t'-f;.'w tld ?
. . The subsequent vindication from Co
lonel Davis deries peculiar force and in
terest from the circumstance that he was
himself an officer in General Taylor's
army, and could speak-lo the points in
volved with all the accurate knowledge of
an eye-witness, and with all the feivor of
one who, reverencing his great comman
der with a feeling not devoid of enthusiasm,
fell indignant at ihe unjust imputation cast
upon . him. Moreover, that commander
wa dead; the hero, whose laurels while
living might disturb the slumber of an
aspiring Themistocles, , tested , from hU
labors, leaving hs memory with all its
glories In the keeping of his countrymen
who will take care thai it shall suffer no
aspersion. - ... ., .. ...... .- ...
,. -We subjoin the conclusion of this
speech, regtcting that we have not at hand
the means of more copious extracts. The
narrative given by ('nlonel Davis of the
movements upon Monterey and of the se
vere and repeated conflicts which preceded
the surrender of that strongly fsrlified city,
is worthy to pass into History: , ' s ,,

Cotton III loflntnceBpon the ttorld. -
"' Every fresh " arrival' front Europe' is
watched with anx'eiy. Speculators are
more inquisitive about the slate or the cot

ion market in tne oiu world, than up n
any other subject. v How't cotton t"
the first question,' and. till' it is answered,
nothing else must be talked about.' Po
litic, finances, ' revnfii linns,' diplomacy.
cauinet intrigues, are nothing io cotton.
This remarkable i vegetable pioduc'tion
rules me world; ami, as our own coun
try grows an immeiiso surplus above its
own consumption, we may be said to
rule the world ; "this teems to he fully ac
tnowledged in Europe, and the depen
dence of the country, in this, important
particular, has led the English lo pay ve
ry close attention to the cultivation of cot
ton in India and other parts of the world
few years ago, seven or eight American
punters were selected by the E;isl India
Company to make experiments in India;
but these all failed in the object for whicl
they had been engaged, and aAer spend'
ing five hundred thousand dollars, the rn
terpnse was abandoned.. The dry and
wet season are believed to be great objec
tions to uie cultivation or me plant, at
least in many districts. As many as two
hales of cotton, say nine hundred pounds.
can be obtained sometimes rrom a single
acre of land in this country bile a singfe
a . - -
acre in India oitener yields one hundred
pounds than a larger quantity. . The ne
cessny, however, ol having a competing
growth wflh that i f Ihe United Slate, re
centlv has brought ahont' more favorable
. a '-
results in India, ami the English are verv
proud in boasting that, at no distant dav,
they will do without American cotton, by
increasing vastly the production in Egypt
and the East Indies. 1
Without doubt some vety considerable
changes will lake place in the growth and
consumption of cotton, 'during the nexi
five or ten years. If being the sovereign
staple of the world, great nations wi I ap
ply its power largely for political pur
poses.' We have seen its effect upon na
tions since 1816 how it has regulated
the money market between Great Britain
and the UniletlyKtauts how it has estab
lished and petp. linun! a long and a bless
ed peace, and how poweiful it now is.
In keeping the woild free from the alarm
of war. Between Great Britain and India
it has been seen to be a ligament that
binds these Mauds of the sea to a roightj
and hai baric empire as nothing else could
hold them. ' ; Jr-

-o The Penally of Death, imposed upon Doc
tor Webster, has been paid, and the great
object of thai penalty ought to be to deter
others from like crimes.. We are the ad
vocates of ihese terrible punishments, not

Divine law, but because we know of noth
ing which can be effectually substituted
lo take the place of a death penalty, i We
are truly taught that there is nothing a
man so much values as his life, and noth
ing that he will nol give in exchange for
ins hie. livery Hung said and seen in
the world roulrary to this general truism

men from the commission of crimes where
nothing else would avail. .- The gallows
